Obama’s concession speech
Posted on January 9th, 2008 by ecthompson
Barack Obama can be just as inspiring in losing as he was in winning. “There is something happening in America.” ” You can lead this nation out of long political darkness.”
Man, he is good. Just like before, in Iowa, the speech isn’t about him, it is about America and those who want to work for change.
Hillary’s not the only one crying - I was in tears last night listening to this amazing man, wondering who could NOT vote for him?
It is not over yet. February voters will give a bigger picture.
Best part:
“…But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes we can.”
f’ing brilliant. He is magical on the stump.
He does speech better than he speaks in debates or interveiw. i thought the speech was too long and he started to sound like he was preaching in church, though i like obama i think he needs to get a track record and some friends if expects to get things done or change anything in washington. the last 7 years has been a nightmare that will scar our future generations. Today bush called iran a threat to world peace. As i see it bush is a larger threat.
